Am I Limber One?

Last night Scotto had a camp-out so Hope decided to have her friend, Sierra spend the night. She is so sweet. They did Show Choir together during the summer and really clicked. Now they're in another little singing group. Here's a couple of clips from one of their Holiday performances that Marci (of cource, THANKS Marc) took for us. I just realized I never posted about them at Christmas. oops

Jingle Bells

(This one is cute because you can hear little Ella sing "Hey".)
Angels We Have Heard on High

Last night Hope thought it would be fun to do Sierra's nails. They turned out really cute. She painted them and then embellished them with tiny painted instruments.

It reminded me of a story from a few years ago when Hope was about 5. We were living in Florida at the time and she came with me to take Kayley to the dentist one afternoon. Kayley has always been SO creative and her nails were always painted to look absolutely adorable.

This particular day it was her toes. (Kayley always wore flip flops.) That day there were little murals of the beach on them. It was amazing ... the detail she painted on her own toes. There were palm trees, birds, a sun... etc. The dentist happened to notice them and couldn't get over the fact that she had painted them herself. He said, "Boy, you are so artistically talented... and LIMBER too!" Hope thought that must be a huge compliment and excitedly asked the dentist, "Am I LIMBER One?". It was pretty funny. The dentist was cracking up and never forgot it. Neither have we!

Here are the pictures of the girls last night:

Voice Camp Recital

We had the Voice Camp Concert today. It was wonderful! Debbie did such an amazing job with those kids.
Thanks Marci for not only coming with Mike and the girls but for taping it for us.

You're the best!

Here are some pictures of Hope.

Hope, Kirsten and Megan

The recital included both the younger group and the older group. It was fun to hear them all. Each participant did a solo and there were 3 group numbers. I was so proud of of each and every one of them. That takes courage and they all did a great job! I hope Debbie does "Voice Camp" again next summer. I highly recommend it to anyone in the Katy/Houston areaI have no idea how to add the video or insert YouTube. Maybe I'll be able to add it later.

Voice Camp

We are so lucky to have Debbie Siebert as a friend. She is absolutely amazing! Not only did she develop a program Bravi! Beginnings to teach children music in an entertaining way,
she also teaches piano and voice lessons to children and adults in the Katy/Houston area.
I could listen to her all day long!

This summer she is holding "Voice Camp". Hope and some of her friends are participating and absolutely love it! Debbie has 2 groups of kids divided by age. The sessions are for 1 hr and the camp goes for 2 weeks. She gave each student a folder with the music they are working on together and the piece she chose for them specifically by their voice range, etc. The students will sing this selection for the recital. The song she chose for Hope is, "On My Own" from Les Misérables She also made CDs for each student with the accompaniment so they can practice at home.
I'll try to get some pictures of them to post and of course Marci will have to tape the recital.

K...Marci?
